This is a spicy, kicked-up buffalo chicken sloppy joe recipe that is sure to please!
Even my toddler loved it...but she is kind of strange and likes that kind of spicy stuff. :D
She kept asking for "more chichen (chicken)!" even though I could tell she thought it was spicy.
But no worries because you have total control over how spicy or mild the recipe turns out!
If you or your kids don't like a ton of spice, then just add less of the hot sauce/buffalo sauce. :)
I pretty much followed this recipe from Cupcakes and Kale Chips with a few minor alterations.
And I used her blue cheese dressing recipe and just mixed it with a bagged garden cabbage mix to create a blue cheese slaw - WAY good! :)
I know you'll love it too!

- 1 lb. lean ground chicken
- 8 oz. can tomato sauce (no salt or sugar added)

Blue Cheese Dressing:
- 1/2 c. plain greek yogurt
- 1 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
- 1 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. dry mustard
- pinch of chili powder
- 1/2 c. crumbled blue cheese
Directions:
Follow the directions given here for making the sloppy joes (the only thing I omitted was the Worcestershire sauce) and here for making the blue cheese dressing.
Mix the blue cheese dressing with the cabbage mix. Less cabbage mix if you want more dressing than cabbage and vice versa. :)
Top your sloppy joes with the blue cheese slaw and enjoy! You may need to eat this with a fork.
Just FYI. ;)
